Hi Guys and Girls! The route is being marked and set out for all of you! Looks like some rain later this afternoon but a clear forecast for tomorrow! The route is not muddy either - will just be a bit more challenging - nothing you can't handle!

 

Come and join in the fun and come to the race! we are waiting for you! Pancakes and coffee will be waiting!

Nice! Iove this route! Looks like the weather will be over by tomorrow. Currently cloudy but nice temp in ceres. Think the front will be good to compact the odd sandy road in the forest station

The forecast tomorrow looks like a shocker, 4-12 deg, 40km win and 92% Rain. Think it will effect the attendence? Also if i make a last minute call is there anyone to contact on the morning to see if the weather is 'fun'.

Ja not the worsed but after weeks of rain im expecting a mud bath and just consider the viabilty of drving 3hrs+ (tank of fuel). There is also tough competition from the S15 for the Sat morning time slot ...
